How The Other Half Thinks

This is too much. I’m too angry to even bother to fisk this bastard. It probably wouldn’t sink in anyway. A good beating might be the best thing that could happen to this jerk. Unfortunately, I’m a real peaceful kinda guy and I know all you folks out there are kind, intelligent people. So read how the “other half” thinks and tell me if you can find even an ounce of rationality or civility in this man’s comments. I’ll leave the fisking up to you. I need to go cool down, maybe torture a few hippies in the BMEWS prison to work off steam ...

Bush Gropes, Planet Cringes
Knead a German chancellor, banter dumbly, reveal global ignorance. It’s Dubya abroad!

So now we know.

I mean, we sort of thought we knew, before, what kind of guy George W. Bush is, essentially our very own inept, inarticulate ex-alcoholic ex-frat-guy failed-businessman pseudo-leader who famously appeals to the most God-fearin’ and least educated and least attuned among us because he is, well, one of them.

We thought we had him pegged: Just a casual and aw-shucks sort of walkin’, talkin’, war-happy embarrassment to the country who was rumored to be a Genuinely Nice Guy in person but who, when he traveled abroad, nevertheless caused the entire nation to pre-emptively cringe in preparation for all sorts of imminent humiliations and lots of hilarious-yet-excruciating new material for “The Complete Bushisms.”

But every so often we get a glimpse of just a little more. Or, rather, less. Of what lies just beneath that carefully controlled sheen of White House spin, what happens when Dubya is away from his handlers and his prefab scripts. We get a hint of just what fuels that clueless amble, that Chosen One bumble, that graceless and decidedly dorky sort of approach to everything from ordering a Diet Coke to comprehending Middle East chaos.

Witness, won’t you, the latest in a huge pile of embarrassing Bush-on-tape moments. (Warning: Not for the faint of intellect.) Here he is, the leader of the Free World, fresh off being caught on a live microphone at the Group of Eight summit meeting muttering to his favorite poodle Tony Blair, using his bestest Texas-boy shtick, that if them gul-dang Syrians would just tell Hezbollah to knock this s-- off, everything would be dandy ...

Here is the president of the most powerful nation on the planet, fresh from an awkward smackdown by Vladimir Putin on Bush’s failed war in Iraq, muttering to Blair and Chinese President Hu Jintao, actually more amazed and confounded by the fact that Jintao’s flight home takes about as long as Bush’s to Washington ...

(Bush: “You eight hours? Me too. Russia’s a big country and you’re a big country. Takes him eight hours to fly home ... Russia’s big and so is China. Yo Blair, what’re you doing? Are you leaving?” Ah, dumb-guy banter. Makes you feel proud all over, no?)

And now, the icing on the giant cake o’ domestic torture. Here is Dubya, strolling speedily into a G-8 summit meeting where powerful, intent world leaders are already gathered to discuss, presumably, serious issues of the day, walking straight up to a seated German Chancellor Angela Merkel and giving her a weird, unsolicited shoulder rub from behind, before dashing to his seat. Oh yes he did.

- More Liberal vomitus from San Francisco here (if you can stand any more) ...

- You may e-mail this moron at .

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
